Accidents happen, and if you’ve ended up with black forest cake stains on your outdoor furniture, don’t worry—there are easy ways to clean them. Here’s a step-by-step guide to restoring your furniture’s look.
1. Blot the Stain Immediately
Use a clean cloth or paper towel to gently blot the stain. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain deeper into the fabric or material.
2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution
Mix a tablespoon of dish soap with warm water. For tougher stains, add a small amount of white vinegar or baking soda to create a paste.
3. Apply the Solution
Dip a soft brush or sponge into the solution and gently scrub the stained area in circular motions. Test on a small, hidden spot first to ensure no discoloration occurs.
4. Rinse Thoroughly
Use a damp cloth to rinse off the cleaning solution. For fabric cushions, blot with cold water to remove residue.
5. Dry Completely
Allow the furniture to air-dry in the sun or use a dry towel to speed up the process.
For stubborn stains, consider using a specialized outdoor cleaner or consult a professional. Regular maintenance will keep your furniture looking fresh and stain-free!
